AS OTHERS SEE THEM.

There is just as much difference in lawyers
rs there is in other people, and this is especially
the case with George Walsh. George, as al
most everybody knowns, is a lawyer, but un-
like the majority of lawyers, he does not sit
in his office when business is slack and wait
for trade to search him out. No, he buckles
on his armor, which consists of Il
club cane and tall hat, and
gets on the street corner and
hustles in a right lively way for clients. Its
always best when you ask George legal
question if you want a prompt answer to
have II couple of silver dollars in your hand
and gently shuttle them together when you
put the question. The magic clink has
Il peculiar effect on Georges
nerves. One of Georges characteristics
client he always takes the street cars. When
he sallies out to look for u client he always
walks.
Ramsay Crooks is one OF those real estate
dealers who sit in their Office. turn their
face to the street windows and
draw customers through the medium
of their honest countenances. If anybody
who has money i'll his pocket to plant in
acres or corner lots catches sight OF RAM
says face he's u ''goner." Quite masher
is Ramasy, with his fish-hook moustache,
jump-up pompadour and hazel eyes; but he
never makes lasting impression on the fe-
male heart, because he had rather play ball.
He has already begun practice for the summer
season, when he will play first base, short
stop and center field for the Crocus Hill
Swipes, an amateur club of much promise.
He is also change catcher for the same nine;
that is when the ball comes in his direction
he changes his position and let's somebody
else catchit. Ramsay's muscles are getting
pretty hard now, and are beginning to wear
holes through his clothes, which Is rather
expensive but unavoidable.

Johnny Langdon, the diaper clerk ut the
Clarendon, has come out in n brick-top suit
of clothes, cut sailor style, that gives him the
appearance of some theatrical manager from
England. His what-you-may-call- diamond
flashes with the same dark-green scintillation
that it did in former days, when Johnny WAS
a young and ambitious man, and any
body TO look ut him as he APP
pears on the principal thoroughfares each
evening at o'clock, wouldn't think that he
had passed the 45th year of his existence.
Johnny still adhereS to that wide spread
style of collar, brought out in society several
years ago by Billy Rice, and that always
will make man, when he sees one of them,
sing: white wings, they make me so
weary

Johnny Baugh has sold out the Astoria,
and the next that you hear of him will, prob
ably, be that he is managing Il mammoth
hotel in Duluth. Duluth will catch good
hotel man If she gets Johnny, for it is bred
in him to make people feel at home, and he
does it when they come his way. Johnny
is q quiet sort of chap, and
| is never so happy as when
he can stand on the sidewalk with his hands
in his pockets and size up procession of
good horses. He likes good horse, and he
! also likes good game of billiards, and he
can make game exceedingly good if he hap
| pens to get mixed up in one with man who
will crowd him little. With four balls on the
| table, John used to be able to roll up 600
points before letting go the string.
49,
Henry Mickle. of the Ryan, is one of those
confidential individuals who will put his foot
up OH your shoulder and whisper in your ear,
and when he takes his foot down you wonder
what in the deuce he said. He likes prac-
tical joke, leans up against Dennis Ryan with
a familiar kind Of lean and always gives the
| boys 1.-The best there is in the house,

| Manager Scott generally keeps his own
counsel On the street he is usually in Il
| brown study, while in his Office he is exceed
lngly busy. A sort of brotherly feeling eX-
! lists between him and Manager Conklin, of
the Minneapolis Grand, and every night after
the ''show'' they lean up against telephone
and tell each other, confidentially, how much
money the entertainment has Melted them.

men by chance goes home. forgetting TO go
through this performance, he can't sleep.
